Table 1: Differential gene expression in (a) PBMCs of healthy donors and CD patients, (b) PBMCs of healthy donors and CD patients after LPS stimulation and (c) biopsies experiments. Results from each card were quantified in a relative comparative study, using an automatic baseline and threshold to record the cycle thresholds () setting and the 18S rRNA gene expression as a reference for normalization (). Identification of genes differentially expressed in Crohn's patients versus control group was performed () using standard statistical analysis methods as the Student's -test with the commonly accepted significance threshold of .
